It was a night full of drama, from former supermarket shelf stacker Willmott's stunner, to Joe Day racing off the pitch to be with his wife Lizzie - who went into labour during the game.
To put the icing on the cake, she's since given birth to healthy twins.
"He said gaffer, thank you so much, can I go please?"
